Simple news - sort order problem

I am running 2sxc 8.012 on DNN 7.2.
I am trying out Simple news. When I add new news the newest is supposed to be on top but it is not. The newest item is always on top regardless of the date.
When I look into the pipe and run the test the newest news is on top if the date is the newest. I.E. the sort order is right but it is not the case in the module.
Should'nt it be?
